For the moment, my temp setup is in an area of about 1.5 or 2 square feet or so which is practically the size of the light. I'll have to figure out the plan for the near future - the intention is to put a wall up in the basement soon (all to be documented here) before size or smell becomes an...

I think it depends on your electricity usage periods. Mine is "cheap" (read: normal) 7pm-7am, really expensive 7am-9am and 5pm-7pm, and medium-expensive 9am-5pm. Therefore for my 18/6 I chose to go 7pm-1pm (no choice to cross into an expensive period but most time on is the cheapest rate) and...

Here's a family shot. The smallest two are the 2 China White's remaining in the race.

they're transplanted to the pots they should have started in

This is exactly how I did it. I started with one of the two China White indica seedlings that had died (after starting a root in the paper towel but nothing more than that once planted) in order to practice, and it exploded like Alderaan all over the place. Did the only other dead one second and...

Alright so they desperately needed to be transplanted into bigger pots. The clear cups were too small anyway, but being clear did at least clue me in earlier than I would have thought to get them to bigger pots (my first grow don't forget). I got a pack of eight 10cm pots at the dollar store for...

I snuck in while it was dark, blindly lifted the tin pan of cups into the tupperware and put the lid on, then dropped the tarp so I could see. I hung the light from a better nail and added a chain so I can easily adjust, and put it just over a foot from the plants. Replaced the tarp, blindly...

OK tons of food for thought here. I forgot to mention there's an 8' ceiling and it's an LED light which stays very cool but is quite directional; but regardless... I hadn't really thought about maneuvering around them for feeding, watering, etc when they aren't so teensy and manageable like...

they're an inch tall

That's a good idea. I think considering it will be ongoing, any cost will eventually pay for itself compared to street prices and how much we consume (not crazy but it adds up to be sure). Just realized I'd fucked up - going to re-hang the light now. The guide says put the light 24 inches (2...

Beginning of day 2 and there are already leaves! I just hung the "600W" and it's clear it will be perfect for clones & smaller plants. It's been on hours and the metal bezel is cool to the touch - so it would work well for the little clone containment unit I'm building out of a large tupperware...

Esteemed growfessionals, I am looking at making a "room" in order to help contain light and smell, but I don't want to lose too much floor space or give away the fact there is a room... in my basement I have a 12' wide (and maybe 14' deep) area I would like to add a wall to, all the way across...

OK thanks guys! I was just going by a guide here where they used those clear ones to gauge root growth in order to transplant to bigger pots / light. Either way the whole setup is quite temporary, and I doubt I should wait long to get to bigger pots anyway.

I've started a grow journal here so I can track everything in one place and link to it if I have any questions along the way. Looking forward to learning from all of you pros! /thread

Here's where I will keep my journal for my first grow. As mentioned in Newbie Central, I picked up the following equipment: 600W LED 36W LED 20W / 45L ActiveAQUA Air Pump with 6 outlets 1-way check valves, air stones, buckets 12 seeds Himalayan Cream (sativa), regular / non-feminized 12 seeds...

No it's cool this is the kind of thing I need to hear earlier rather than later. I can look into a light mover or picking up another 600W in the future if things don't go very well. So far I'm just looking to make sure I can end up with a few decent mothers and no males...

For just 6 plants? If you're right that's too bad but worst-case I can always get another of the 600W (edit: or a couple more of the 36W maybe)... I just didn't want to go overboard too early when I'm not even truly set up or experienced yet.

Thanks for the info @vostok sadly I'd already started 4 of each in paper towels... but I could just leave the sativa plants in longer at the end right? Yes DWC I have buckets I picked up cheap - I'll have to check their size but I'd guess 10-15L? The plan was 6 plants based on the air pump, so...

they've sprouted

Hi guys! I'm new, just wanted to say hi. I've picked up a "600W" KingLED light plus a 34W for clones, a fairly popular air pump with 6 outlets, etc. Looking to get started soon! I've got sativa and indica strains to try...
